Greetings SQL Team :),
I was wondering if someone has dabbled with Reporting services and encountered this error when firing up to a browser from VB.Net?

A connection could not be made with the report server http://xx.xx.xx.xx

I tried creating a virtual root in IIS on my workstation but cannot get it to fire up. What's interesting is that I built my report in VB.Net and clicked on the Preview Tab and everything works fine.

Can anyone tell me how I can get it to work on IE?

I appreciate everyones input.

Thx,
Ed

Did you deploy the report to the server? You should be able to goto http://xx.xx.xx.xx/reportserver and see a list of all your deployed report projects. Are you trying to use the ASP.NET server control wrapper for placing your report in your app? Try hitting the report manually first.

hth,
Justin

I got a directory listing denied when I used http://xx.xx.xx.xx/reportserver .

I am using the report tool in ASP.Net to create the app. All works fine on VB.Net interface. I can't get it to fire up on the workstation server. I have installed a SQL Client, VB.Net and reporting services on my workstation. My workstation has connected to SQL successfully. I just don't know why I am getting a connection issue on my workstation IP address.

Can you temporarily enable directory browsing through IIS to ensure that the reports are being deployed properly? (I'm assuming you aren't getting any compilation errors through VS.NET, if you are that is the place to start)

Actually I just checked my IIS settings and it appears that directory browsing isn't actually required. Is the virtual directory designated as an application in IIS it should have an application name of Report Server.
